Privacy issue

Rob McMillan has raised interesting points [“Internet success story google damaged by privacy battle” Nouse, Feb. 2006]. Previously, many were largely ignorant of the issue regarding information held by Google on it’s users.

It seems vitally important that we are aware of what Google is storing on us, as to my knowledge, there is no obvious disclaimer on the site that indicates they will be holding our info. Additionally if a company is able to have such a huge effect on the business of BMW, then surely something should be in place to ensure that it is unable to control the market.
